JTP’s COSC Cyber Security Update/Accountability Thread

[JTP]

I'm currently waiting on an "Assessment Team" to be assigned to my CHFI evaluation. If I remember correctly I had to wait a week or so for a team to be created and assigned for my CEH evaluation. I submitted all of the paperwork for the evaluation this past Friday, so hopefully sometime this week they will let me know the team has the documentation and I can pay the evaluation fee.

I'm 95% sure the cert will be awarded credit for CSS 436 System Forensics, and I think there is a moderate chance it might also get credit for CSS245 Security Policies. I attached the Student Learning Objectives for each course and did a small write up on my justification for including them. In the end it comes down to the assessment team and they could reject both if they felt like it.

I decided to hold off on my DSST exams till I hear back from the Evaluation. In the off chance I get more than one course awarded I might not need the extra 3.41UL credits still and the DSSTs would have been a waste of time and money. For now I'll start planning out a PLA for CSS347 Sec Strategies in Windows since no matter what it will need to be done, and register for the Capstone course once my advisor gets back in from vacation.
